[wp-hackers] Why WordPress killing Session ?

[Brian Layman]

And sessions can work nicely on multiple servers, as long as there is a 
common storage place.

What I've done in the past is to setup a single memcache server used for 
session storage by all of the web heads.  It does not take up a lot of 
resources on the memcache server.  So it probably won't require a 
dedicated machine.  It works quite nicely when you are using something 
like SimpleSAMLphp, which requires sessions, integrated with the 
WordPress login process to give you SSO.
